One clip becomes several

You recorded it in one go, but it is really three posts. This turns the one file into the three, at exactly the moments you choose.

Split a video

Runs on your device, nothing uploaded

Your video is read off your disk and each part is re-encoded by your own browser, one after another. No server is involved at any point. It re-encodes as it goes, so start from your original export rather than from a copy that has already been squeezed.

Three steps

How it works

  1. Drop a file in

    One recording goes in, and it goes in nowhere but the page. There is no upload step to wait through.

  2. Place the cuts

    Pause the preview where each part should end and press split. Up to eight parts in a run.

  3. Save each part

    Every part comes back as its own file, named in order, with its own stretch of the soundtrack.

What it is for

Why this one is worth having

  • Each part stands alone

    Own file, own audio, numbered in order, so part two can go out on Tuesday without dragging part one along.

  • Nothing gets uploaded

    The parts are encoded one after another in your tab. A ninety second recording never crosses the network.

  • Capped on purpose

    Eight parts a run, because each part encodes at playback speed and a run should finish while you are still at the desk.

FAQ

Video splitter, asked and answered

How many parts can I make?

Up to eight in one run. Each part is its own encode at playback speed, so eight is where a run stops being a wait and starts being an errand. Split one of the parts again if you need more.

Do the parts have to be the same length?

No. The cuts land exactly where you place them. A three second hook and a fifty second explanation are a fine pair of parts.

Does each part keep the audio?

Yes. Every part is encoded with its own stretch of the soundtrack, in sync.

Does my video get uploaded?

No. The parts are encoded one after another in your own tab. No server ever sees the recording or the pieces.

What is this actually for?

Part one, part two culture: a recipe in three parts, a story serialised across a week, a long demo cut into chapters. One sitting of recording, several days of posts.
